Mommy & Daddy - 1st night without the baby!

CRAZY!!

So mike and I have both been away individually, but not TOGETHER! (CRAZY CONCEPT, I KNOW!Haha!)
So for Father's day, Mike's parents gave him a night away with me :-) It was WONDERFUL!!! We stayed in Harrah's in AC...driving in was just wonderful. We had a fun car ride, just chatting away, and before we knew it, we arrived! Exhausted, we both took a nap! haha! Then we went to 'The Pool.' This is for adults only, and becomes a club at night. In the daytime though, it's strict security! I mean STRICT! You need your room key, slip that came with your room key, and photo IDs for anyone walking in...silly little thing though - THEY NEVER TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED UNTIL YOU GET TO FRONT DOOR! So needless to say, poor Mike had to run back to our room 3 times!! Sooo many people tried to get in and were turned away. They need a sign, or tell you at check-in, but once we got it all sorted out, the relaxation began :-)

My Malibu Bay Breeze to kick off the night! :-)


Pix of 'The Pool' - Soooo Nice!!! A 4ft. pool so you could just walk in and relax, adults only, bars and hot tubs all over :-) Ahhhh :-)





We made reservations to eat dinner at Dos Caminos, which is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant!! Sooo Yummy!! I got a lobster enchilada!! We had sangria, and overlooked the marina from our table...pure bliss :-)

I'm ready for our night out -


I love this man sooo much!!! -


Unfortunately, we were not big winners in gambling this night - $0.15!! Haha!! We only did slots, and not for long. We just had fun walking around and hanging out :-)




The next day we went to Smithville, and ate lunch at Fred & Ethel's and walked around to the cute shops.
It was such a nice getaway! Mike's parents watched Miranda (THANK YOU!!) and we just had a really nice time. It was great to come home though and get baby kisses from my sweet pea!!:-)

Happy Father's Day!! (Mike's 1st!) :-)

Father's day weekend was so lovely!! It started off at dad's house, where Miranda showed off her skills, of pulling herself up on EVERYTHING, crawling, and realizing in the swing Zayda set up :-) It was a really great afternoon!














On Father's day, Mike played in his softball league, and then came home to find a surprise from his Peanut and Dolly :-)



Peanut was so excited to give her daddy his present! :-)





We went over to Mike's parents and had a great time splashing in the pool and enjoying a BBQ :-) (I even made Shortrib Lasagna Rolls!) :-)

Here's our little model getting ready for the pool -



Fun Pool Time Pictures! Miranda loves being in the water, and watching Butchie run around the pool, or splash with her in the water :-)













Time For Presents!







Miranda enjoying her time in her kiddie pool :-)

Crawling, Clapping, Standing in Crib!

Oh My!!

June 1st - Miranda Crawls (I know she walked before crawling, but this was so exciting!)
June 3rd - Miranda claps (fully on her own! You say clap, or if someone if happy, she claps away!!)
June 9th - Miranda stood up in her crib (Oh boy, let me tell you how fun that was to see her lift herself up in her crib first thing this morning on the monitor...oy vey! Let the baby proofing begin!)

Talk about a momentous month and it's only just beginning!
